And the computer is confused this morning.......playing a combo of Billy Joe Shaver( Got to love "Ragged Old Truck") Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Renaissance composer Claudio Monteverde's music.
It is May.
It is perhaps the roughest month to teach school. The kids right now are worthless. They don't wanna do nuthin'.
STAAR Exams are done....( Is anyone wondering if the commotion that occurred during the exams will have sort sort of affect on the scores? You know the school is concerned, especially for the high schoolers taking tests.)
The kids can see the end. Teachers can see the end.
And I say this as a former teacher that classroom teacher is tired, there is no tired like the month of May for teachers.
Senior teachers have been fighting Seniorities for weeks now.
Teachers, you got less than 3 weeks. You got this.
( If you are planning on leaving the district, heck, any district, now is the time to be looking. )
- There were several people who were concerned about " sexual reference" I was included within....
Hey, it is the cost of writing blog. Doing so I have made myself a public figure( Even though I unless there is a trip to Houston, Lake Charles, England, Scotland in a trip, I hardly even leave the Compound here in Lemonville.) and I am subject to such. Probably more than you know. I get some humdingers I really should post. I really just go on because if I stopped every time I got insulted over the blog, well, there are not enough hours in the day.
It is sort of why I have not started a podcast. I wonder what type of " Fresh Hell" that will bring? ( That said, looking at perhaps moving the parts of the blog to Substack....Monetize? Perhaps somethings? Or not?)
It is a concept that our political leaders and school officials especially local ones. do not understand. Lead a political organization , a taxing entity, you are subject to flak. Sorry, you just are, don't get mad, fix whatever you messed up. Don't get mad especially at your patrons paying for the district. They have a right to criticize you. That's what that Amendment 1 is all about.
That said, thank you for worrying about my well being. I need all the prayers and moral support I can get.
- Okay, I had planned to take a few days off before the school situation(s). I am going to try and take off a few days that way, things will get stirred up and I will be writing every day.
